So delighted to announce Of Sense and Soul is back for #TheStorytellersFestival 2025!
As ever, thank you to @twoandahalfstudios for hosting and bringing so many wonderful narrative games together โ all 400+ of us! โจ๐
We'll be showing off voiced scenes from the game on stream all week long, so feel free to pop that on in the background for some cozy Victorian vibes! ๐
(And, well, why not wishlist the game while you're there?)
As sure as the sun glaring in the sky, Confluence: An Of Sense and Soul Soliloquy is now on Steam! โจ๐
Even though it's been over a year since we created this game, it remains very special to us and we're happy it can be experienced by even more players now.
Whether you've enjoyed Confluence already or have yet to experience it for yourself, you can hear Hugo's tale of life and love in this short game.
(And of course, leaving us a Steam Review couldn't possibly hurt!)
Thank you to Asuka Soeda for additional assistance translating for this release!

Today marks the beginning of Season of Pride presented by MidBoss, IDGA, and Gayming Magazine, a festival for celebrating a variety of queer games. Two of my LGBT+ & boys love visual novels, Canvas Menagerie and Asphodelium, as part of the event.
Other queer visual novels are also in the event... like these!
Together with some friends we're celebrating queer visual novels in the festival. Check them out!
